Very careless of me.I am sure you are right. Thankyou for the warning. Notafly (talk)#
Phlebolepis
On Phlebolepis, you said that I removed "details and clarity" from the article. However, you didnt explain what was removed. I can't put something back if you don't tell me what I removed. Instead of removing the "details and clarity", you reverted the whole thing, which is not constructive. Yixpoleg (talk) 21:12, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Yixpoleg: As a start, this is an encyclopedia that is dedicated to a general audiance. In your edits across multiple articles today you have been removing detail for generality, or removed detail for obscurity. At Phlebolepis (NOTE genus and species names are always formatted in italics per MOS) you removed the period, (Late Silurian) from the prose leaving only "Ludlow epoch" in text, which you pipped so it was unclear to any general reader. Additionally in the taxobox the {{extinct}} template is not needed on EVERY species name, neither is the full genus name for the species, †P. species is correct, while at the same time you removed the authorities from the names in the taxobox, for the stub species section, which might have been fine, except you clearly do not understand the role of punctuation mark up in taxonomic names. You put both authorities into parenthesis, but per Nom rules, NIETHER should have been in them. (Author, date) has a very specific meaning in taxonomic writing, which you have repeatedly been called out for violating. You needlessly added a second link to Thelodonti, contrary to MOS which state only link a first instance of a linkable term. Not to mention the wholly unnecessary nowiki you dumped into the prose.--Kevmin § 21:46, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
- See Theropoda, Mammoth, and Homo. They all list the species or groups with the extinct Icon. Yixpoleg (talk) 22:18, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
DYK Question
Thanks for your help with my recent DYK nomination. I did contact the author of ETYFish and he came back to say that it was his own research that uncovered that Margaret S. Collins was the first African-American to be honoured in the binomial of a fish. He said "not that many fishes named after women." I don't think this would have been enough to get the first fact through, do you? Quetzal1964 (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
DYK for Ditrichites
On 19 June 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ditrichites, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that it was 41 years between the first Ditrichites moss description and the genus being reported in amber fossils (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ditrichites. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ditrichites), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
